      Spanning from 1980s London to a present-day reality TV show, this story explores how a woman's tumultuous past influences her family's future. Sarah Percy, once the star of a popular morning show segment, faces declining ratings and struggles to provide household advice, especially when her mother becomes involved. Debbie Windsor, Sarah's mother, is a compulsive hoarder and shopaholic, a secret Sarah has hidden for years. Obsessed with royalty, Debbie's life began to mirror Princess Diana's, leading her to collect royal memorabilia as a coping mechanism. After relocating from England to Pennsylvania, the family's home becomes a chaotic reflection of Debbie's struggles. Despite her family's efforts to help, Debbie dismisses their concerns, putting her safety at risk. When Sarah's brother nominates their mother for a TV episode about hoarding, he insists on Sarah's involvement. Reluctantly, both women agree, but the stakes are high. As family and romantic relationships hang in the balance—including Sarah's connection with the show's attractive host and Debbie's budding romance with a local shopkeeper—long-hidden secrets and resentments must be confronted for the family to heal and move forward.
